LEONE LOCAL CHAT.

LEUNE LUlAk InAI.
Miss Kate Church, of Norfolk, Va,
who has been kindly remembered
since her visit to this city last sum-
mer, by those who had the pleasure
of knowing her, is guest at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Goulden.

The City Band concert PANIED out
all right on Friday night. I've lost
! the programme, but remember that
the most of the selections were very
creditably rendered. Occasionally the
music sounds as if they didn't have
to - but in the main they are careful
musicians, who conscientiously try to
do justice to themselves. their reputa-
tion as band, and to their teacher.
The alto solo, played by Mr.. Ray
Swartz, is fine composition and was
very we'll rendered.
Prof. Luscomb has taken charge Of
class in Winchester. We commend
him to the people of that town as a
| fine musician and an instructor whose
services they are to be congratulated
upon having obtained. They will
find him not only all this, but a gen.
tleman, as well, whose social and
mental qualities, are such as to win
the highest regard of all.
Programme for next week:

They belonged to the sand and Gala
mus train, and were taking in the
sights, when one of them saw wheel
and its rider. She caught her friend
by the sleeve, saying: "La, Sally,
look; there's another one of them
there patent churns.'' Just then the
rider tumbled and bystander finish
ed up with "Yes, but the ground
makes the butter" Have the boys
been working the "patent churn"
racket upon the Bohemistic children
of Nature who dwell in the shadow of
the nearest mountain.
English as she is taught" is pre-
valent among some of our children of
larger growth; for instance, in speak
ing of a man who was killed, gen.
tleman stated that "there was nothing
found on him to indemnify him.
This is only equaled by the youth
who, thirsting for information, asked
"who wrote Longfellow's poems ?"
She hadn't heard of the Shakespeare
controversy either.

"W" says the Sheriff is "demul-
cent" (softening) on a sister village.
Can scuh things be? Surely the BEAM
ing smiles that are showered upon
him by the girls of this town are more
than warm enough to effect a soften
ing of even his presumably hard
heart. Go to "W." You do the per-
suasive power of our "clinging vines"
too great an injustice.

1 went into soda water dispensary
with one of the stronger sex the other
day, and he said TO the manipulation
of the fountain: "Got anything like
useuebaugh and he shut up his off
eye in spasmodic way, right quick.
Now / learned long ago that it is
sometimes polite, as well as conven-
lent, not to see and hear when you do
see and hear, and vice versa. Now
and said: CT believe I'll try some
of the usquebaugh flavor, too" and
the soda water man thought very
deeply for minute, and then said he
was awfully sorry, but he believed he
was "just out"

Some enterprising individual has
made an estimate of the area of heav-
en-. / append it for the satisfaction of
that class of people who are exclusive
and fear they will have to make I'M
desirable acquaintance in the City of
God. And he measured the City with |
the reed, twelve thousand furlongs.
The length and the height of it are
equal.-Rev. 81, is. I
Twelve thousand furlongs, 1920, 900
feet, which being cubed, 496, 1913, 0S8,-
900, 600, 900, 900 cubic feet. Half of this
we will reserve for the Throne of God
and the Court of Heaven, and half the
balance for streets, leaving remains
der of 124, 198, 272, ZOO. 900, 000, 900 cubic |
feet. Divide this by 1905, the cubi-
cal feet in q room sixteen feet square,
and there will be 80, 1921, S43, $50, 000, 900
rooms. We will now suppose the
world always did and always will con-
tain 800, 100000 inhabitants, and that
a generation lasts for 335 years, max
ing in all 1910, 100000 every century,
and that the world will stand 10000
or 1000 centuries, making in all $780,
DOC, 900 inhabitants. Then suppose |
there were one hundred worlds equal
to this in number of inhabitants and
duration of years, making total of
297, 900, 900. 100000 persons, and there
would be more than hundred rooms
sixteen feet square for each person.

question about the accommodations, as
there will be of the fitness of guests to
